You were my perfect friend, right there until the end, I'm forever missing you until we meet again.

>>10758373
Anon's off of his meds. Anyway, F for Tori. Your DQ work was great.

ayo, real quick,
lemme drop a dime on ya...

we name is Floigan, that's F to da N,
we come talkin' bout bidness, cuz we ain't no fren

we got dogs in da yard, and a big ol' spliff,
bouta pipe down some shawtys with dem big ol' hips

we got Colt in the can, and a 9 in the hand,
and now it's bout time ya hear da master plan...

we come from the past, to bring some news,
"Floigan Bros. here to fight the jews!"

with muscle, wit and Floigan force,
we return from '01 to correct the course

but we can't do it, not without you,
and not without the man who said Floigan will do

Bernie lookin' down, guardian angel,
saw the future in us when we was still on the table

casting dreams, on a Moigle and a meme,
Big Bern and SEGA brought Floigan to da team

and now it's time, that we done some work,
the junkyard's closed and we loadin' the hurt

the jews on the run, early passover,
it's bout time for Mario to move over

now the dream is cast, and we sellin' out,
but we ain't leavin' on a single doubt

the plumber's dead, and Bernie too,
but the future is bright for Floigan and the crew...

word.

But y'know something ironic that might cheer you up?
My mom made tacos

>>10758345
RIP. That sucks.

>>10758345
That sucks but it's honestly time for Dragon Ball to end. I don't know how they can put out shit like Orange Piccolo and Black Frieza and Gohan Blanco and not realize they're completely out of shit to do. The Tournament of Power was the perfect ending (although the new Broly movie was kinda neat) what with Goku conquering the multiverse's most powerful fighters and on top of that it was as good as Super will ever be. There's a reason they haven't bothered adapting the silly shit that happened after that in the manga in to anime.

Rest in peace, you legend.

Rest in peace, king.

I've never been a huge fan of his works except maybe Chrono Trigger designs but his impact on worldwide geek culture is undeniable. Dragon Quests which I've played and some of DBZ games are genuinely fun.
I wanted to watch Blue Dragon sometime, guess I can start today.

This song hits way different now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXt5leUUBYQ&pp=ygUOYmx1ZSBkcmFnb24gb3A%3D

I wasn't planning on playing Chrono Trigger again so soon but im doing it. I hope he's chilling up there with Miura. Thank you for the years of your influence on video games sir.

I guess it is nation-wide mourning today in Mexico.

From what I've heard DBZ is fucking huge here, maybe even more than in Japan itself.
I can't imagine all the feels of the fans now.

rip

A brain bleed sounds like it might have been an accident like Bob Saget? Very sad. I was a lifelong fan ever since Chrono Trigger came out and DBZ started airing on Sunday mornings in the mid 90s.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CLndz1b7ms

Genuinely sad, this man created something magical. Yes, I went through a phase of "dragon ball is too normie!" but thankfully it didn't last too long, only when I was like 13 up to 16 or so.
Dragon Ball will always hold a special place in My soul, watching it with my dad and friends, playing the SNES and Sega games and then the PS1 games, reading the mangaz buying the movies in VHS, buying art books, posters that I still have and adore. Especially one art book that was a gift from my dad.
Thank you Toriyama! You did some cool art with funny characters and sexy girls, and changed the lives of millions. You made my childhood and pre-teen years much better.

Toriyama rules but you can tell his well of character design concepts was limited. All of his non-DB characters just look like combinations of motifs he used in Dragon Ball.

I just beat DQ2 today, his name is second in the credits only after Yuji Horii. Toriyama's monsters really are the heart and soul of the series.

>>10758429
I restarted a month ago, but i think tonight i should go back and finish it.

>68

A fucking kid.

damn ive even been on a bit of a dragon ball kick lately too. Ive been a fan since the original 1996 cartoon network run before it came back again in 98. Normally I dont care when famous people go but he wasnt even that old. I was kinda bummed when i found out takahashi died too cause i also love yugioh

Damn for the first time you niggas are not trolling RIP i will play some Budokai Tenkaichi in tribute to him

>>10758417
>unnamed warrior maiden the futanari fighter

>>10758345
>never played dq despite being a huge db fan
Where do I start with dragon quest?

Well that fucking sucks. Whatever you think of his work, he's likely inspired or influenced something all of us here love at some point, either directly or indirectly. And there's a good chance that most of us have enjoyed something he made too.

Dragonball has always been a huge part of my life, and Goku's character has influenced me to be a better person, as nerdy as that might sound.

That's the first time any famous person's death has actually bothered me. RIP Akira Toriyama.

3 is considered by Japanese audiences to be the best in the series and to fully enjoy that one you should play the first two games.

>>10758472
Dude, I opened the link and I had tears rolling down my face I did not expect this news to hit me so hard but damn. One of my favourite game of all times, god speed sir.

its the best genre im not watching cartoons because i want to think. i think baby zoomer weebs just resent it because its the most popular when it was an easy transition for all us OGs who had burger animes like tmnt and ghostbusters. I watch cartoons to have fun and shonen is fun.

And platformers (Mario running was inspired by Arale, Super Sonic was literally Super Saiyajin), fighting games (hadou ken, just as an easy example) and possibly like 99% of japanese video games released after the late 80s.

>>10758528
Final Fantasy only got made because of the success of DQ1 in Japan. Much of its success can be attributed to Toriyamas art.

>>10758551
Ackshually, in SMB1 he didn't do the Arale run but he started doing it in SMB3 onwardsi never said Mario would have never ran but that Toriyama was an influenced to even a legend like Mario.
Toriyama's genius is all over japanese pop culture.

>>10758593
>>10758539
>Mario running was inspired by Arale

>>10758451
A lot of his characters really suffer from same face. On the other hand, it does help his art be as immediately recognizable as it is.

>>10758475
>Square dicked around til one of the dudes died before creating a proper "dream team" sequel
Why exactly was Chrono Trigger so cursed? Didn't Japan suck it off tremendously? While not FF7 wasn't it a significant JRPG success over here? I don't think I've heard an explanation on why they never made another one, and the only semi-sequel-I-guess was this Radical Dreamers remake with tenuous ties to CT. They even became Square-Enix at a point. Now that I try to answer my own question, I guess Sakaguchi was busy with other shit and by the time he could have pivoted to CT again he was persona non-grata at Square. I dunno man. It just seems fucking gay and nonsensical that we never got CT2 and miss me with the Cross apologetics. Shit BLEW GOATS.

>>10758594

>>10758609
levels of soul never imagined by anybody else. RIP Toriyama.

Its a shame we never got the scifi rpg equivalent of dragon quest with his designs for aliens, bots, weird worlds n shit.

To be fair he has a ton of different "base" faces. Like no two characters in Tobal there look the same.

Always been there, you fuck

Sugimori totally aped his style for pokemon

>>10758618
I wasn't gonna reply to that anon because "Toriyama only draws sameface" is a big meme at this point, impossible to fight it. But yeah Toriyama was variated as fuck.
The whole "sameface" argument can be made for possibly 100% of manga and comic authors that have made extensive work. Toriyama is not the best example of that, not even close.

>>10758628
That's why early Pokemon has so much SOVL

>Dragonball has always been a huge part of my life, and Goku's character has influenced me to be a better person, as nerdy as that might sound.
He taught us to never stop training to be better people

>>10758515
Kamehameha, Toriyama. You fucking legend

>>10758642
Can't ruin what was already terrible.

>>10758648
Was kino up until the Cell arc. Cell arc was meh. Everything after that was fanfiction tier retarded.

>>10758642
As far as I'm concerned Dragon Ball ended in 1995 when Goku left to train Oob.
I still enjoy GT and Super (really liked Zamasu saga actually) but I see them more as a different era of DB. Well, GT was still retro but not canon, and Super just happened too late and Toriyama was just giving indications and helping a bit but it wasn't the same.
Nobody can ruin Dragon Ball, the 1984-1995 run is immaculate and should be considered humanity heritage.

Does this mean that it's open season on AI generated Toriyama style art? You can't copyright infringe the dead.

>>10758650
I was bored of the show by time Goku was in HFIL. Sure, it was a rare cartoon that wasn't episodic at the time, but it was doing worse-- just running in place and dicking around refusing to get on with it.

>>10758658
If that were the case Mickey Mouse would have been fair game a long time ago. And of course it only matters in places that acknowledge copyrights. There's been bootleg DBZ shit in Central and South America for decades. Somewhere in Brazil there is a place with a graffiti mural, it's Vegeta in the local soccer team's jersey. He's holding the decapitated head of Raditz, the body of raditz is in the background and he was wearing the jersey of local soccer teams rival. I have no evidence of this but I know it exists. There might be multiple instances of it, like mayan and aztec pyramids. Only the Simpsons can compete.

>>10758436
SDH implies that yeah, he hit his head.

>>10758653
Personally, everything starting with the Saiyans just feels like a completely different series for me. Not just the more scifi stuff, but the pacing and less focus on adventure in foreign lands. I can enjoy it as basically a crazy nips interpretation of western super heroes, but it just doesn't feel like the zany martial arts adventure it started as.

Fuckin hell dude.
Fuckin hell dude.

Fuckin hell dude

Thanks a lot Joe Biden

>animezoomzooms seething when their favorite mangaka talk about how much Toriyma influenced them

currently playing this in his honor.

that does suck to hear, the original dragon ball is a great show


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI1_xXs16MI

>>10758703
You're not far off - Z was pretty much intended as an action-oriented reboot of the Dragon Ball anime when Toriyama and his editor wanted to switch to a more serious story.

Being blunt, I never cared for Dragon Ball, not now, not 20+ years ago. Maybe if I was Mexican I'd enjoy it more, but for me it never clicked.

That said, I appreciate other works of his, and he had an incredible legacy and influence. Chrono Trigger is one of the few JRPGs which capture me, and Sandland is underrated and forgotten. I always liked the way he depicts himself as Toribot.

>>10758451
>>10758601
People keep saying this but it's not true. Toriyama dis have a half dozen or so variants of each feature that he would mix and match but that's way more than most artists do, particularly manga artists. Something like Evangelion is ACTUAL sameface. Remove the hair and you can't even tell male from female. Meanwhile I bet you can tell Bulma from Android 18 just from their eyes, nose, and mouth. Toriyama was more of a caricature artist in that sense. He had way more distinct variants of eyes and mouths than most of his contemporaries. That's not even getting into his real talent for monsters and vehicles. Even his backgrounds were way more intricate than people realize.

>>10758838
You don't have to like his works, but the scope of everything's he's done is where the respect is. Nobody says they're going to redefine the entire industry and influence the world, and Toriyama back then probably just wanted to do what he did best: make silly jokes, draw, and get a paycheck.

Truly based mangaka RIP.

>>10758845
But I do like some of his works.

>>10758841
Correct.

RIP.

>>10758515
Kamehameha, Toriyama

>>10758838
>Sandland is underrated and forgotten

It's got an anime a few years ago and is getting a video game this year.

>>10758870
That was a film. Anime series comes out this year too, a month before the new game releases.

Best thing I can do for Toriyama-sensei's memory is to remind you that death can come at any moment (even to our heroes) - Believe on the Door's ONE sacrifice 2000 years ago, in your place, and you WILL go to Heaven with Him.
>Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
>And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou SHALT be saved

Chrono Trigger will probably always be the best game ever made.

Jokes aside, Oda was recently diagnosed with astigmatism which is actively getting worse. Even if he isn't going to kick the bucket, there is a high chance he simply wouldn't be able to draw manga anymore.

He has assistants and editors of course but fuck. Being a manga writer apparently have more risks for your health than working at the steel mill.

its kinda impossible to overstate toriyamas influence in japan in the 80s and 90s, so i dont even doubt it desu
dragon ball was huge, and then dragon quest separately became its own cultural phenomenon.

even outside of japan, the guys influence is inescapable
for most of the 90s, his doodles were the face of like half the country of japans exports. thats hardly even an exaggeration

To think I was over on that den of retardation known as /dbs/ calling him Senileyama the other day... Fuck. Seems I'm not alone in feeling like shit over that, at least.

I never would have gotten into Chrono Trigger or Dragon Quest if it weren't for his art. RIP.

I remember accidentally waking up early for school one morning late 90s early 00s can't remember exactly then turning on the TV and being hit with Rock the Dragon. Kick fucking started my puberty and I woke up early everyday from then on in hopes of catching an episode again. It was soooo good compared to the safe boring cartoon slop I was used to consuming at the time. Big F.

>>10758345
Maybe now video games will be safe from his soulless Goku clones and ugly spaghetti haired "female" characters

>>10758964
Toriyama fell and hit his head, which is extra dangerous when you're getting up there in the years, he was 68 or 69. Ergo, Sleepy Joe, who is presumably approaching his bicentennial, is just a roll out of his bed at night away from death (and thus Kamala presumably has him belted in place to prevent this).

He was one of the few artists who could convincingly draw middle aged milfs. Most will just draw a 20 year old and give her a battleship ass but Akira Toriyama would make sure to accurately draw a woman of about 45-50 years old.

>>10758345
It feels so damn weird trying to process that he's gone.

Dude was the reason why pretty much every video game and anime franchises existed. Without him we wouldn't have games like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and probably a bunch more games.

The guy made literal cities hold watch parties over Goku vs Jiren.

We will probably never have a person this influential again for a long, long time.


Rest in Power, Toriyama-sensei.

Thoughts on V? Do you like it more or less than IV?

>>10758515
Kamehameha, toriyama

>>10759357
I like it less than 2,3, 4 and 8 but it's still a great game. The thing I really dislike in 5 and 6 though is the overworld, just terrible no exploration; the layout feel unnatural, and you get a series of vehicles that can only lead to 1-2 places each time.
I suppose the average player got filtered by the freedom the boat offered in 2-3-4 but this much hand holding is just too much

>>10758964
Yup I didn't even think of this! Come to think of it mangaka tend to not become very old. Maybe they should take better care of their health.
>>10759054

NES versions have bugfixes and improvements compared to Famicom versions; but there are some localization changes, most notably getting rid of crosses and references to christianity. First game script is full of faux old english but that's heavily toned down in 2 and gone aftterwards.
You could always use delocalization patches but then it's going to be a headache for you looking up the names of items/towns/spells, even if you use the patches that supposedly revert some of it. There is one patch for 4 made recently which uncensors the graphics but doesn't touch anything else.

Anyway, they're fine.

>>10759773

During the December 2023 show thingy Toriyama, JUMP and Toei did, they showcased a timeline, GT was still there.
DB-DBZ-DBSuper-Last Episode of Z (when Goku fuck off with Uub)-DBGT.
Toriyama himself seems to have no ill will or issues with GT since he included it on that.

It's being discussed on 5ch.

>>10759390
Not to change the subject, but do we have any quotes from industry vets of the now from when Tezuka croaked? I would be interested to see if Toriyama had anything to say like every he inspired is doing for him now.

>Not just the more scifi stuff, but the pacing and less focus on adventure in foreign lands.
The later portion of Dragon Ball was more about that than what you're describing.
In the "Dragon Ball" portion of the anime, only two arcs are what you describe, that being the first arc and the Red Ribbon Army arc. Three of the other arcs are tournament arcs, and and the only other arc is a fairly standard "Fight the demon king" storyline where it is more about fights than exploration.
The Namek arc is ultimately far more about this exploration than any arc prior outside of the first one.

>>10758663
>ADHD riddled burger got bored 5-9 episodes in

>>10760319
Yeah i guess i should specify, it wasnt an immediate drop off for me, but a decline. I liked the fights and world martial arts tournaments spliced into the original, the last Piccolo fight is my favorite of any fights (really that whole tournament). I would probably be fine if the series ended on Namek, its more so everything after i dont like the pacing of and tone with its vast empty wastelands. I actually do like the concepts of the Android and Buu arcs, i just dont like the execution. I guess the alien origin reveal also rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe if it had been set up and hinted in the older content, it wouldn't come off as such a genre shift to me.

>>10758663
i never cared for Z much either desu. i used to watch sailor moon then turn it off sry toriyama-san
the pacing was miserable, id unironically rather watch one piece

that said, dragonball was the GOAT
i remember the only episodes of Z that i really truly enjoyed were the bulma/yamcha/krillin comic relief episodes, since they felt so much more like dragonball
Z always was just constant powerlevel asspulls, and everyone looking like david lee roth, but with even more screaming

>>10758412
>There's a reason they haven't bothered adapting the silly shit that happened after that in the manga in to anime.
The anime was never an adaptation of the manga. Toriyama gave drafts to both Toei and Shueisha, and Toei's drafts ended at the tournament. The manga arcs were Toriyama working more directly with Toyotaro, and the recent films were him working more directly with the anime staff (which would've culminated in the most involved project for him- Dragon Ball Daima).
>>10760337
Dragon Ball changed itself constantly. It was initially a gag manga, but took on a more serious tone with Bora's death and later Tenshinhan's character arc (into the Piccolo arc). The alien reveal was a similar change, where Dragon Ball is constantly moving and adapting itself to never get bogged down, it's why even for people who don't like them, the Cell and Boo arcs are still seen as generally fun or good. They have a lot of 'motion', which is what many manga at the time and today lack.
Where Yudatamago and Kurumada would stick to rigid tournaments or successions of 1v1s (which isn't bad mind you), Toriyama would shuffle the deck around. He'd go from tournament, to adventure, back to tournament, to a demon king storyline, later he'd have all the main characters killed off in one brutal fight, have the gang play hide and seek on an alien planet, and then do the inverse with the next main antagonists on Earth, followed by an arc where the main antagonist was essentially a gag character.
Contrast that to the modern era (pretty much the 2000s to now), where most battle manga tend to have the characters standing around and talk about how awesome they'll be, or the old days where characters would fight in one place for 60 odd chapters, and you can see why Toriyama so easily enraptured people.
Helps that he's a genuinely great writer, and saying he wrote it on the fly is more a compliment to his ability than anything.

its stickied in /a/. This board is slow enough it really doesn't need to be stickied here.

Shit has me really sad though, i think this is the most any celeb death has fucked me up. Dragon Ball has been a constant in my life and I'm realizing I witnessed the rise of a meteoretically influential story that is on the same level of cultural significance as shit like Tolkien's books, Dracula, and maybe some fucking aesop fables and it just happened to start getting popular during my childhood. But everything comes to an end eventually.

It's a terrible day for rain.

>>10761497
We all are going to witness our favorite creators to leave this world eventually, then we'll leave too. The worst thing is that its going to happen more often as we get older. Eventually, there will be none of our lifelong/childhood idols left.

The best we can do right now is keep all that legacy relevant by holding onto it in our hearts and gain inspiration from it. There will be no new stories from the author but at least we can appreciate what was already done.

I, personally, never watched DBZ past 1st episode and only read first volume of the original manga. Now I'm thinking about watching the entire thing and play some games, I have a whole ocean of content to dive in.
Toriyama's death got me sad too, but at the same time, I was reminded of something important, that no one will last forever. If I want to create something myself, I should do it now.
I'm gonna use that burst of energy for as long as it will last to make out the most of it.

That's probably what he would've wanted everyone to do.

We were spoiled. A lot of the things millennials and Gen Z are huge fans of started showing up in the 80s. Whether it's popular anime and manga, Saturday morning cartoons, or video games, a lot of it isn't THAT old so the people who pioneered it we just took for granted were still plinking away. But a lot of those guys who were in their 20s and 30s back then are now in their 60s and 70s. Shigeru Miyamoto is 71. Yuji Horii is 70. Ed Boon and Hironobu Sakaguchi are younguns at 60 and 61 respectively. Rumiko Takahashi is 66. The founding fathers of late 20th century pop culture are almost universally at retirement age. Nobuo Uematsu just announced that he plans to retire. But then you pop in Chrono Trigger and see all these guys who at the time were probably younger than a lot of us are today. I still visualize Sakaguchi as a guy in his 30s with thick jet black hair even though he's now gone gray. It's quite bittersweet, for example, seeing just how old the three still living Ghostbusters are now. Or Harrison Ford. Or Christopher Lloyd. Or Patrick Stewart. It's super easy to engage with the old stuff so often that you forget how much time has passed. You get so used to these people existing in that snapshot that when you see them as they are today it feels like they aged decades in a matter of minutes. That said, as sad as it can be, think about how lucky we were to be children and have our formative years at that perfect moment when these things were being made. I feel quite honored, for example, that I was there during the dizzying growth of the video game industry, or to watch the Simpsons from the start and lived through that period of Bart Simpson fever in the early 90s. Being one of the kids who these things were made for. It feels like the equivalent of being a kid when Action Comics #1 first hit newstands. Or watching the Wizard of Oz at it's theatrical premiere. We were the people who got to be contemporaries of Akira Toriyama.

I remember a commentary from the mid to late 90s from one of the staffers on Bubblegum Crisis who was wistfully remembering only ten years ago as "oh my we were so young and had so much unbridled passion and energy" and at the time I was like "what the shit are you talking about, you're not that old yet" but then you realize just how fast it goes by.

>>10762338
Dragon ball is the comfier show and has better pacing than Z in terms of it's power scaling, it also introduces a lot of the cool shit you see in Z like the demon underworld and while the red ribbon army saga fucking sucks, the rest of the show keeps a consistently engaging narrative.
I feel to enjoy Z to the max you should really watch dragonball first since you'll have an appreciation for the minor characters who actually play a more significant role in dragon ball instead of just going "why the fuck is there a talking cat in a tower in the middle of nowhere".

>>10760403
>its unlikely dragon quest wouldve even left the island of japan
Heck, it's unlikely Dragon Quest would have been the booming success in Japan it was. In some other timeline, it's just "that top-down Wizardry clone" or something.

>>10762365
That's because Z was supposed to be the end of Goku's story, it wasn't supposed to continue after Namek was destroyed. That's why Freeza's power level is so over the top, he was supposed to be the strongest fighter in the universe, someone Goku had to die to defeat. Everything after that is an afterthought

but no graphics power engine is the future and look what happened to the development of FFXIII and it's projects. Look at XV and its other financial failures. Tokita and Horii got to do something.

>>10762891
the initial resurrection of vidya in the west during the 80s/90s was on the back of a technological arms race. just as the descent into modern gfx-as-god shittery has been

id argue the difference is the people involved, but moreover, the size of teams involved
im fully convinced its literally impossible to make something as cohesive as trigger with a team of several hundred people. it just cannot be done. too many cooks

>>10758451
I cant stand people like you who argue that toriyama became too derivative of himself when he already developed and established a completely unique visual style of his own that influenced and inspired millions of people and artists around the world. He's an absolute legend who excelled at dozens of things including character design. And I never hear you faggots complain that Jim Davis suffered from safe face or a myriad of other lesser artists. It's always Akira Toriyama because it's literally all you have

>>10758618
Still not good enough.

you think toriyama has a manuscript somewhere in case he dies?

Hey guys, this is Layne Floigley. You might know me as the lead singer of Floigan in Chains (formerly Alice in Chains). By the way, I'm dead. Anyway, I ran into a couple old buddies of mine while I was buying a pack of smokes at the Circle K last week: Floig Jones Jr. and Tyrese Floigson. We used to shoot junk and watch cartoons together n' stuff... it was real cool, man. By the way, I'm dead. Anyway, they were telling me how there was some anti-floiganism going down 'round these parts, and they said I should stop by and have a little chat with you guys. The first thing I want you to know is that I used to be a huge faggot. Everybody thought I was super chill and friendly n' stuff, even though all I ever did was sing about depression, drug use, and suicide. I also invited a guy on stage during one of my concerts and sucker punched him for giving a Nazi salute while surrounded by hundreds of fans and security guards because of how tolerant and brave I was n' stuff, even though I had no problem directly funding murder and child trafficking by buying massive amounts of black market opiates. I even let my girlfriend get fucked by a bunch of old men for heroin money even though I had millions of dollars, because I spent it all on heroin. By the way, she's dead. Anyway, the point is, I was a total douchenozzle n' stuff. Then, I found Floigan, and everything changed. Floigan made me realize how much of a retarded fag I had been. After undergoing floigalysis, I started changing myself for the better: I started regularly washing my bed linens, I got a Costco membership, I read Mein Kampf, I stopped shooting as much junk, and I even started working on the whole me being dead thing n' stuff. Look friend, the fact is... Floigan changed me, and Floigan can change you, too. Just stop like, being all hateful n' stuff. Open your heart and accept Floigan into your life. By the way, I'm Layne Floigley, and I'm dead.

>>10763892
They removed everything from modern Doraemon, not just that. I remember the little toy soldier that looked like a mafia dude had a revolver/pistol on the original, the new one has some sort of thing that tries to look as different as possible as a real gun.

The American art is rather charming in its own way as a take on the classic designs. Wasn't it another jap artist who drew that stuff? I think it was someone who did a lot of art for Nintendo Power. There was a mini players guide included with an issue thatbi recall showed off more interpretations of the original art like the slimes. I kinda always wanted a Dragon Warrior 1 remake done as a Souls action game based around that art style and its different take on the franchise.

Ackman is Bestest Trunks Timeline

why is crono the only redhead protagonist Toriyama drew? Damn shame he would have turned 69 next month and if he had lived he could have made a CT tribute for its 30th.

i guess its got an oldskool DnD vibe
as if that market wasnt already oversaturated in the states in the 80s

marketing is all about sticking out, being memorable
in that respect, the dragon warrior art utterly failed. wizardry fans mightve bought it, and been disappointed in its lack of depth. while non-wizardry fans wouldve avoided it for its assumed complexity. if nintendo power hadnt literally given them away to kids for free (with subscription), i doubt most people wouldve been won over by that box

its certainly no megaman 1 boxart, but it is similarly misleading as to the product contained within

There will be underground Amish commandos hired to take out the Amazooglisney Conglomerate spy synthetics that try and infiltrate these illegal "Creative-Expression" rings who seek to obtain this unregistered artwork to upload into the AI masternet algorithm.

he actually has plenty of variety when it comes to his faces and its literally besides the point when he has a cartoon style. whats the point of re-inventing the wheel when you have already developed your own instantly recognizable style? how come no one complains about jack kirby suffering from same face? becuase its a stupid nitpicky thing to complain about and besides the point when an artist is already amazing for a variety of other reasons
